TAIPEI, Taiwan – The Sunday service this week at an unassuming church in Taiwan was especially moving for one man. It was the first time Liao Qiang had worshipped publicly since authorities shut down his church in China seven months ago. ADVERTISEMENTThe 49-year-old arrived in Taiwan last week after fleeing China with five family members. Liao and Ren’s account is the first detailing what has happened since the detentions began at the Early Rain Covenant Church. Liao said the police tried to force him to sign a statement renouncing his church, but he refused.
